Theres a boy in some of my lessons who is well known for giving some incredibly stupid but at the same time very funny answers to questions. Well my lesson with him today was no exception. Unfortunately I can't remember many of his 'special' answers but my highlights today are:

1. His story of how his friend burnt his face accidentally with his cigarette (he didn't get round to explaining why he didn't do something to move away from the cigarette) and how as a result he received first degree burns and a massive scar on his face which lasted a week. When questioned about how his scar could only last a week we realised he'd been referring to a scab (although he assured us it was massive). His first degree burns also seem to have healed very quickly and exceptionally well, so well that theres no sign of them at all.

2. When trying to explain structural unemployment this was his definition: 'its unemployment formed when the..........the......um...........whats that word?'
Teacher: 'Its in the name.'
Boy: um...........i can't think of the word.............its when the something of the economy changes............um...............'
Teacher: 'What type of unemployment is it?'
Boy: 'its structural unemployment.'
Teacher: 'Yes so now give the definition.'
Boy: ok, its the type of unemployment formed when the.............oh, what is that word?'
Teacher: 'Structure! The structure of the economy changes!'

3. When discussing the lack of convergence on legislation about smoking in the Eurozone he decided to ask: 'so what about the convergence on the legislation in Europe?'

I thought I could remember more but I can't. So until my next lesson with this person thats all you'll be getting.
